The drawing is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we can see that AB and DE are both adjacent sides of their respective triangles.

While, CE and BC are both opposite sides of their respective triangles

Now, from your side, x is the distance to the island.

So, from ratio of similar triangles, we can find x.

Thus;

8/x = 3/9

Cross multiply to get;

8 × 9 = 3x

3x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

Thus, distance from your side to the island is 24 yards

Drag each figure to show what fraction of the whole is shaded .
Schach [20]

Answer:

1)3/4 (other) 2)2/3   3)2/3   4)1/3(other) 5)1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason all the ones that say other are other is because they dont fit into the 3/4 section or 1/4. we can figure out the answers by counting up the total amount of squares/triangles and then the shaded ones, and then putting them over each other, shaded amount on top, and then simplifying. or, if you can tell by seeing that there are only 3 boxes and one shaded for example, you can simply tell its 1/3 because its already laid out for you. hope this helped
